The man vying to return Hemel Hempstead’s Parliamentary seat to Labour has met with business owners about rising rent concerns.

Labour’s candidate for the town in May’s General Election Tony Breslin held the meeting at Warners End Community Centre on Thursday, with borough council candidates for Chaulden and Warners End Mike Bromberg and Margaret and Ron Coxage.

Tony told shopkeepers: “It will be a priority for Labour to cap rent rises to the rate of inflation for community shopping centres around the town. Labour has a plan to put the heart back into Hemel and we’ll be taking that message to Gadebridge, Bennetts End, Adeyfield, Woodhall Farm, Grovehill and Highfield.”
